» Item Name: XR-23 Heavy-Duty Suppression Unit [Colloquially called Minced Beef, as that is what it turns it's targets into]
» Item Type: Primarily Vastime armament, also for any person with sufficient ties and permission.

» Used For: Offensive

» Item Description: The XR-23 is humorously known as a 'stub-nose' 30mm cannon. A considerably shorter barrel than a usual cannon, it has six barrels, and a drum storing 400 rounds. A dense metallic core covered in a non-metallic composite sheath with a diamantine tip makes up the actual bullet, with an individualised propellant to allow for massive velocity without blowing half the budget of gunpowder on a single drum. The rate of fire, density of the rounds, and tight spread for a gun of this design allows it to chew through practically any material, with varying degrees of eventuality.

However, it is not all sunshine and rainbows of death. It is mechanically limited to a certain rate of fire, as the weapon heats up with momentous speed. It has been known to malfunction from heat expansion with extended bursts, and even limited as it is, the barrel can cause hideous burns if touched. Even limited such, it is a weapon that requires routine maintenance to avoid breaking down from the accelerated wear and tear it goes through when deployed. It is far from standard issue, but certainly makes a mess whenever deployed. It can chamber specialised rounds, but these are more expensive to produce due to the size of each round when compared to the usual rifle. With the production capabilities of Vastime however, this is not a huge concern. It's weight and recoil requires some degree of strength, and so it requires an Adept rating in strength to lift and keep on level.

Not everyone wants to heft a monster that will rattle your entire skeleton when fired and leave you feeling like you are driving down a terribly paved road, however, so it can be mounted with a brace designed specifically for this weapon, on a wall or in times of need, the floor. This bracing action requires one post to stabilise it, and another post to fold it away when done. In this situation, the user can fire it for as long as he wants without discomfort, as the brace takes most of the recoil in exchange for being unable to maneuver with it.

For now, I'm gonna ignore the wildly inaccurate display of weapon-component knowledge that would make this firearm more akin to a hand-held suicide device--trigger ready--and make note that there's no way a piece of equipment of this calibre would be insufficient to someone below master. In fact, adept should be more than enough to handle it considering adept strength is sufficient to use boulders in similar fashion to how David used pebbles against Goliath, with the same degree of ease. So, that'll have to be lowered down significantly to Adept requirement. The alternative method of using a battle-suit is fine and sensible.

Also, you say this weapon can utilise specialised rounds. Given its individuality and handling of 30mm in similar fashion to how any other standard mounted MG would handle their own respective ammunition, 30mm ammo that can in particular handle a nitroglycerin propellant would be exclusive to the weapon, and that being said I'm gonna need to you detail out some of those specialised rounds, or omit the specialised rounds part altogether.

Also, 500,000 yen should be fine for PH-economy. Fix all those things up and I can go ahead and approve; however, before then there may be a more official ruling on the accuracy of the engineering of this weapon, since none of it is remotely applicable. But if not, it'll smoothly be approved.

Master wasn't just for the lifting of it, but also keeping it on target when you pull the trigger. A Singular weight is different to a constant force. But, if Master is way to much, I could try putting it down to Advanced?

Ammo was because it's a Vastime weapon and Vastime has crazy ammo producing capacities. So they would be able to produce for this weapon on demand, from what I read about their production abilities in ammo.

For the heat thing I was just trying to make something to balance it just wizzing bullets everywhere and no, I don't really know how guns of this kind work.

Right, so came up with a verdict on the mechanical parts. Omit the science altogether and just justify some of the details with more vague descriptions that don't get down to the hard mechanical details. Nothing about the effects of the weapon will change, just vaguer descriptions so people won't be able to take advantage of some of the nonsense like unstable explosives as a propellant in leiu of a more controlled substance like gunpowder, so on so forth.

If anything, keep the general descriptions but be more vague with specific terms and numbers. "incredible heat", "special explosive substance instead of traditional gunpowder", so on so forth. With that vaguer description, you don't have to go into any depth about what kinds of special munitions are available for the weapon either, since we can just assume Vastime has adapted ammo of any of their traditional stock for the XR-23.

Also, advanced is still too high of a requirement as Advanced allows for easy lifts of cargo ships, going into hundreds of thousands of tonnes. Being capable of throwing boulders with ease should be more than enough to handle the recoil of a firearm. So, Adept should still be the requirement. With all that, I can go ahead and approve this.

Vaguified, lowered strength to Adept.
